The Cape Town Sevens has introduced a new registration system for tickets ahead of this year’s tournament later this year.

One of the most popular events in the South African sports calender, the lead up to last year’s tournament saw many supporters frustrated as tickets were sold out within an hour.

To avoid a repeat of that, the organisers have introduced “lottery tickets”, meaning anyone can get the chance to witness the festival atmosphere from close up.

“We did a lot of research and the buying experience over the past three years has left many supporters frustrated and disappointed. When demand exceeds supply – as it does for the HSBC Cape Town Sevens – there will always be those who miss out.”

“We wanted to create a better and less random system to allow true supporters to lay their hands on tickets. We are introducing a loyalty programme which will put tickets in hands of dedicated fans – although it does come at an additional cost.”

How much are the Cape Town Sevens tickets?

The ticket prices range from R195 a day, with the most expensive valued at R325.

Fans will be able to get their hands on up to seven tickets if they register for the loyalty programme. To do so, you have to go to the Cape Town Sevens website to register.

When is the next Cape Town Sevens?

The fourth edition of the Cape Town sevens rolls into the Mother City on Saturday, 8 December and concludes the following day. This is after the Dubai leg which kicks off a week prior, as the Blitzboks attempt to defend their World Rugby Sevens title.
